How to Contact Your Guide - Ann Logsdon
Like all the Guides at About.com, I'm a real person. You can email me at learningdisabilities.guide@about.com. I'll try to answer your questions, or direct you to a resource that can. If you're looking for advice or commiseration, though, a great place to start is in our Forum. That way, you can hear from me and from many other parents and educators who may have dealt more specifically with your situation.
